Spur double socket off cooker switch

[thunt]

Now, I am getting an electrician to do this, but just wanted verification as I am making the hole for the new back box.
Reason being it is a tiled wall, and the electrician is giving me a cheaper price if i do this myself.
I have verified his request i make a hole for the double back box and nothing more.
I questioned this as would there not have to be a hole for the required FCU as well, needed to take the cooker supply down to the 2.5mm cable?

I don't normally question an electricians request, but being a tiled wall i don't want to end up making a hole that isn't big enough, or worse too big.

Photo shows the cooker switch which I want the double socket placed next to it.

Thanks in advance for replies.

Can't see why not, What size is the oven?

I assume the cooker already has rcd protection?

It's a freestanding cooker, yes with it's own RCD protection.

How about a cooker switch with socket built in?

As long as there‘s no more than one double socket you don’t need an FCU.

Didn't think if that, but already purchased a double socket with USB which the wide is sold on.

Interesting as I thought you couldn't spurs 2.5mm cable directly off 6mm...if you can then this is why the electrician is saying only make the hole for the double socket.
Thanks

You can, if it only supplies one socket outlet (double or single).
No different from an unfused spur from a 32A ring circuit.

If he/she used 4mm² cable, he/she could have have as many double sockets as they wanted.
